The MiG-31, my favorite cold war interceptor, except for the English electric, idk. but this plane is a thing of wonder, the plane looks like its going to eat you with its huge engines and sleek design. the plane could get up to Mach 3 but that caused damage to the engines so pilots usually stayed around 2.5 or 2.7 Mach. It can be used to intercept aircraft like the Sr-71, B-52, and the B-1. One of the reasons I love this plane is the large inlets. idk why but it looks so menacing. I also love high speed Russian aircraft.
The plane was designed to intercept aircraft like B-52s, B-1s, and even the SR-71! the aircraft could go over Mach 3 but had to max out at around 2.5 to avoid engine damage. This plane is based off the MiG-25 as you can most likely tell because of how alike they are. The MiG-31 had many variants, one shat where anti satellite and ones for intercepting incoming enemy's. I built the first variant. there are 4 hard points under the belly, you can but hat ever weapons' you'd like there. Hope you guys like this plane as much as I did!

When AG-5 is on you will have car controls.
This Is a MiG, heave, powerful airplane. I find best dogfighting speed is from 400-600. The Turn speed can be even smaller with use of flaps. Avoid using autopilot as it has a tendency to make the aircraft "over" correct. Make sure to stay within range of you desired target. Interception is basic, full A/B and when getting near pop the breaks. I personally like to get in a close formation then slow down and wait for a missile lock before I engage. Minimum missile range is .6 M and max is 9 M. The interceptors are renamed, same with the cannon. Hope that clears anything up with how to fly. good luck.
See it in action in a video
That's a MiG-31 from a movie called "Firefox" lol

A very nice plane, but the cockpit looks....
Thank you!

I’m your 100th upvote.
If I could ask, can you add a refueling node to it.
Ya. It’s kinda knocked the wind out of me I guess you could say, so I’m probably gonna take a break from uploading anything for a bit, not that it’s really a big deal because I didn’t really post anything exceptional. But I’ll try to notify you when I do add the glass, if nobody beats me to it. @KnightOfRen
@Shnippy
Oh yikes!
If you’re referring to posting it, I can’t at the moment unfortunately because I busted the device I had it on. I’ll try and get around to redoing at a later time. Sorry about the @KnightOfRen
@Shnippy
dont forget to do that :))))
@ACEPILOT109
Can you repost it with glass?
It will! @Shnippy
Hopefully haha @ACEPILOT109
@Shnippy
should be neat!
Don’t know how well it will turn out, but I’ll try @ACEPILOT109
@Shnippy oooh yeah
@ACEPILOT109 I can’t wait for the new update. As soon as it drops, I’m gonna try to give your mig-31 a cockpit with the glass fuselages.
Looks exellent. @ACEPILOT109
@ACEPILOT109 Thanks :D
Wow that looks better than mine! Very cool! @TheReturningHound
Oh I’ll look! And thanks :) @TheReturningHound
I'm making one too!
I was looking around in the site for good MiG-31s to set a standard for my own, and yours was arguably one of the better ones I could find.
Oh cool! Epic pilot @Numbers
No problem! Will do! @ACEPILOT109
Alright, no need to rush man! Uh I would prefer that you use the stock plane/redown load so that people see this one. Thanks :) @Shnippy
Aight. I’ll start recording ASAP and hopefully get this out soon. P.S. I did do some small adjustments to mine, so do you want me to re download it and go from there? @ACEPILOT109
